The Latino Forum is a collective of individuals committed to the advancement of Latinos to achieve social justice for the community and furthers its full potential. (Revised 7/11/2015)

Latino Forum members within the Leadership Committee are exploring the possibility of establishing a Latino Center in Central Iowa. The Latino Forum, a product of the Capital Crossroads initiative, would provide a focal point for the Latino Community, serve as a bridge with the community at large and represent the Latino community in Central Iowa. Over 38,000 Latinos live in the Des Moines metropolitan area, but currently no central organization exists for the entire Latino community.
